Bypass Spam Filter?

[JayM]

Just wondering if there's any way to bypass the average spam filter? I have a form on my site that allows me to contact all my clients, but the messages are going to their junk folder. Why are they classified as junk? How can I improve the script so that the e-mails will go to their Inbox.

Regards

Nevermind. I've found the answer.

What is it? I'm quite curious to know...

It's not one thing in particular, but this was the main thing that was classifying my messages as spam:



About Sender ID
Microsoft and other industry leaders champion Sender ID as an initiative that provides a technical solution to help counter spoofing. Spammers use spoofing as their primary deceptive practice.

.....
......

Sender ID seeks to verify that every e-mail message originates from the Internet domain from which it claims it was sent. Sender ID checks the address of the server that sent the mail against a registered list of servers that the domain owner or e-mail recipient have allowed to send e-mail. The Internet service provider (ISP) or recipient's e-mail server automatically perform this comparison before the e-mail message is delivered. If the Sender ID verification passes, the message is delivered as regular mail.

If the check fails, the message is further analyzed and the receiving server may refuse to deliver the e-mail, or it may flag the e-mail as a possible deceptive message. Depending on the recipient's ISP or e-mail server software, messages that fail the Sender ID check may be flagged and sorted differently. For example, a simple icon may be displayed in the message to indicate the failure. Or the message may be sent to the junk mail folder for the recipient's review, or it may be automatically rejected and deleted.

There is no single solution to stopping all spam and online fraud. However, Sender ID is a significant first step that many in the industry support to counter spam and online phishing attacks.



The problem was that I was using an e-mail address which didn't originate from the internet domain used to send the mail.

ex: sending from jay@hotmail.com on the website fictional.com. Then I tried using jay@fictional.com and it worked :)

Hope this helps.
